1 Year of Bitcoin in El Salvador: The Bad, the Good and the Ugly (coindesk.com)

The downsides of Bitcoin adoption The biggest downside of El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption has been macroeconomic factors that have led to a decline in BTC price along with the amount of pushback it has gotten from around the world. The pushback wouldn’t matter in a bull market, but being a small...

El Salvador Economic Outlook June 14, 2022 The economy should have lost some steam in the opening quarter of the year. However, activity gathered pace in the tail end of the period. GDP expanded at a four-month quick pace in March on the back of firm expansions in the construction, real estate...
